Comment 8 for bug 190964

carmatic wrote in duplicate https://bugs.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+bug/271716 :

i have a very problematic internet connection and many times, the connection attempt will stop at 'connected' without getting the hub's name, the userlist, etc etc... those hubs which do get connected properly would often then get the connection dropped, and when dc++ tries to reconnect, it will end up stuck at just 'connected' ... so sooner or later all the hubs will end up 'connected' without actually being properly connected
i suggest that unless dc++ gets the userlist or the hub title ,or anything which is a telltale sign of a proper connection ,within a set amount of time, it will automatically reconnect as it suggests that there is a connection problem... maybe the timeout can be like 5 minutes to allow for slow but functional connections and to stop the hubs from being suspicous from the excessive reconnection attempts...
what do you guys think?
